Lovehoney Seduce Me Open-Back Knickers

Once again, Lovehoney have produced a lingerie range that I'm in love with. It's a little bit different to other collections they've done as it features a completely new vibe. It brings a retro, pin-up, vintage feel to the table and this is something that I absolutely love. These knickers were probably the piece that I was least interested in, purely because I thought the style wouldn't suit me as well as some of the other pieces, but I was proven wrong.

The knickers arrived in typical Lovehoney fashion, just a clear plastic packet. It's not fancy or exciting, but who needs that when they're buying lingerie for themselves? If they're being given as a gift with the matching bra, then some gift-wrapping would probably be better.

Upon removing them from the packet I noticed immediately that these knickers held up to Lovehoney's usual standards. I'm a sucker for high-quality small items such as knickers and these were impressive. The combination of microfibre and lace works extremely well, especially as both of the materials felt delightfully soft to the touch. They had been put together well and I couldn't see any signs of bad stitching or fraying.

I must admit that I'm not a huge fan of light pink generally speaking, but I do like it when it's contrasted with black in the way that this range offers. On these knickers, it's just the simple ribbon trim and the two satin bows (one in the front and one on the back). I think this is just enough colour to break up the black and enforce the retro vibe. I believe this colour scheme is quite popular with the time period that inspired this collection.

So, I purchased these in a small and I'm a size four to six for reference. I have purchased a few open back knicker styles in the past and found that I don't really have the right body shape to make the straps sit properly, but these knickers seemed to sit just fine. I was pleasantly surprised by this and quite happy, as I really love the look of these and had just about given up hope on getting a pair that suited me.

I think these knickers are absolutely perfect for bedroom wear, as they have access to the important areas. The open back allows for an erotic spanking session and the open crotch allows easy access for other sexy activities. I'm not sure how the design team managed to create such a revealing knicker that doesn't look tacky or cheap, but I'm thankful for it. I don't think these are something that will be worn all the time, but there's definitely a time and a place for them in our bedroom life.

Overall, I'm really impressed with these knickers. There might not be much to them, but I think that is what is so great about them. They scream sexy siren and are an obvious choice for enticing a partner. I love the way that they look, fit and feel and the quality is outstanding as always. They are another satisfying piece to add to my overflowing knicker drawer.

My OH and I like to have sex whilst wearing a saucy outfit and knickers. However, sometimes even crotchless knickers can get in the way. These are the answer to that age old problem!

Rather than having a single piece sitting between your cheeks with a thong. You have two pieces of material sitting over each bum cheek. Think jockstrap for women!

I already own a couple of items from the Seduce Me range, so I was drawn to these straight away. The design of them is simple yet sexy.

Given that the knickers have two pieces that go over your bum cheeks, between your legs and attach to the front of the knickers, these are essentially completely backless and crotchless.

I wore these with my Seduce Me Basque so that my OH could get an eyeful. At first they felt a little strange, but when I realised the benefits I was won over.

My OH loved that these gave him complete access to everything he wanted. You get the naughtiness of sex with knickers on without anything interrupting the view or getting in the way when wearing a plug and having sex.

Also, it was unexpected, but these really encourages a bit of bum smacking, which we have never done before. These have been officially Christened my spank pants!

Cast your mind back to the first time you ever heard of crotchless knickers. It was probably a while ago and it no doubt it took you just a few seconds to figure out how they could be used and how much fun they could be. That would certainly explain why there is a huge amount of crotchless underwear to choose from these days.

Lovehoney has managed to take the crotchless concept to the next level and introduce backless, or open-back, knickers. Once again, it doesn’t take long to figure out just how much fun that could be.

Of course, the ultimate crotchless and backless outfit is to be completely naked but Lovehoney understands how to improve upon naked and make it even sexier. They didn’t have much to work with, after all there is no crotch and no back, but they have somehow still managed to design a genuinely beautiful piece of lingerie.

The materials used are luxurious to say the least and the knickers feel soft and more like something found in a high-end boutique. I am usually a size 10 or 12 and I found that the medium size fitted me perfectly. I expected it to feel a little weird being so open at the back but it actually feels great and very comfortable.

The detailing on the front panel is exceptional, with a tasteful pale pink bow and matching ribbon work. Delicate lace trim adds to the classy styling and makes for a very well made garment. A small charm bearing the Lovehoney logo dangles provocatively from the pink bow and is a really nice touch.

As for the back, well there’s not a lot of it, of course, but what there is has been made to the same high standard as the front panel and is finished off with a matching pale pink bow.

Everything about this item oozes quality and I was delighted with the way the combination of crotchless and open-back worked in practice. They feel just like normal knickers and they even look normal from the front, but the wonderful design means they are far from normal. These knickers are surely the closest thing to being naked whilst actually wearing underwear.

As if these knickers were not good enough on their own, they can be combined with a number of matching items in the Seduce Me range from Lovehoney. For truly luxurious lingerie that is a combination of classy and sexy, I can highly recommend the Seduce Me range and these open-back knickers should be first on your list.
